NZXT launched a grand experiment in the form of a Facebook contest four months ago. The goal was to get 4,000 fans on Facebook; at various tiers they would unveil a prize and give it away to one of the eligible fans. Throughout the summer they gave away a lot of swag, including cases, fans, fan controllers, and more.
It worked: They’re ready to announce the final prize; and when the total number hits the magic 4000, one lucky-ass winner will get a full high end PC, all crammed into an exceptionally awesome custom Phantom mod made by Bill Owens of MNPCTECH. From the press release, here is a short description from Bill of the Mod process:
“The louvered grills were inspired by an exotic sports car. They look aggressive without compromising airflow. They were cnc milled from 1/5″ thick 6061 aluminum. We re-sprayed the Phantom with a “White Pearl Flake” Automotive paint by House of Kolor brand. You can see the Pearl flakes sparkle in person. We took laborious steps to carefully dismantle the chassis, clean and prep and then start a long time-consuming process of sanding prep, applying 3 full coats of paint, more multiple grit sanding between each coat, followed by 4 separate clear coats. This is followed by ample proper dry times and then the finishing touches of buffing with heavy cut compound followed by a final buff with swirl remover.”
The PC components that come in this slick mod are as follows:
- Intel Core i7 870 Tray
- 2 DDR-3 Corsair 2GB 1333
- Single- EVGA GTX460 1GB Video Card
- Gigabyte GA-P5-USB3
- NZXT HALE90 550 Watt PSU
- Hitachi 1TB 16MB SATA-2
- Sony 24X SATA DVD RW
- NZXT White MB24P ATX Power and 6P VGA Extension Cables
- Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)
This Phantom Mod full system worth more than $1,200 will be given away when the total fan number hits 4,000 fans at LEVEL 10. To join the contest and be eligible, follow the instructions on their Facebook page.
